Chelsea’s Germany skipper Michael Ballack will have to be careful to avoid exit from the FTBL World Top 23, our list of the world’s top 23 players, when the Blues travel to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Ballack, who has an overall FTBL score of 134.38 points at the moment, has been in the Top 23 since last August. But his numbers have been shrinking lately; he has slid down the world ranking of midfielders and has been unable to score in 9 straight games.

Ballack will face a plank of 21 rating points to beat against Arsenal, and to avoid exit from the Top 23 he will need Chelsea to win.
